Giveaway winners and Love month wrap-up

First off, I really want to say thank you to everyone who helped me in creating this Love month event, from the fabulous guest posters to the friends who listened to me when I was stressed out, to everyone who commented and spread the word about Love month. It has meant so much that so many of you contributed. I wanted to make people happy in February, and I hope that this was achieved. I know that I'm happier knowing the levels of awesome that my readers are. Thank you all.

Before we get to the round-up of giveaway winners, here is an overview of what happened during Love month. There were a lot of topics that I wanted to cover and just didn't have the time for them, so you might see them popping up sometime in the near future (love poetry, love letters etc)

Congratulations to all the winners, you should each have already been emailed. Please respond as quickly as possible with your postal addresses and the books will be sent out very soon!

The rest of you, thank you (again!) so much for taking part in this with me. I've had a lot of fun!

...and just because I thought it was a lot of fun, here are just a few of the anwers to 'Love is...' for the Delirium giveaway:

knowing that you want to grow old with the person you are with and knowing that no matter what they will be there for you

A child's hand in the palm of yours.

the warmth that can envelop even the iciest of hearts and allows even the heaviest of souls to soar and fly like a butterfly; gliding from flower to flower, simply, peacefully and content.

...a puzzle. It encounters joy, hapiness, jelousy and pain. It triggers our emotions that make you no longer hide.

... passion, vulnerability, happiness, frustration and excitement... all rolled up in one!

making cups of tea and tucking you up in bed when you are ill. It's cleaning the bathroom and going out in the middle of the night to buy toilet roll because no one else has. It's buying your favourite biscuits. It's laughing at your jokes. It's rubbing your feet and playing with your hair. It's a choice you make everyday, in small ways and big ways, to say 'You. I choose you.'

You've absolutely outdone yourself with your Love month posts. I may not have been able to comment on all of them, but I've been reading a lot of them and am still planning on catching up on that which I never got around to! Loved the reviews, loved the guest posts - and lvoed your personal stories as well :)

I'm so sorry I missed this, Clover. I would have joined in somehow! I hope you do this next year, because I will be there for it. It looks like you had a very enjoyable time, lots of books talked about, and new ideas about love. Congratulations, Clover!

Viv - Oh, I don't know if I want to commit to doing this event again! It was a lot of fun, but so much work!

Becca - Thank you for saying so :)

Library Owl - I'm actually quite jealous, I really, really want read AMIM!! And oh, I wasn't sure if people wanted their answers outed, which is why I left it anonymous, but I really enjoyed your answer :)
